With the long sunny days during the summer months in Alaska, it’s hard to enjoy a July 4th fireworks show. However, we’ve still got New Year’s Eve and us Alaskans take advantage of that. If you don’t have plans for ringing in the new year yet, consider attending one of the New Year’s Eve events below!

- Fireworks in Fairbanks!
Kevin Duffy | Flickr The city of Fairbanks hosts a New Years Eve Fireworks Show every year. It’s an awesome experience, especially for those of you who live in Fairbanks and don’t get much of a July 4th celebration. We love you, Midnight Sun, but we want fireworks, too!
- State Fair Fireworks Show
Brooke Binkowski | Flickr This fireworks show is held every year in Palmer during the State Fair. It might be light out but you can still enjoy the event with friends and family! It’s worth it.
- Winterfest
Xa’at | Flickr Winterfest is a Holiday Bazaar at the North Pole Plaza. It lasts two days and the fireworks show is spectacular.
- Fireworks over Sitka Harbor
Richard Ricciardi | Flickr July 4th in Sitka is AWESOME. The show lights up the harbor and the town celebrates all night long.
Have you been to any of these shows before? Which is your favorite?
